to help raise money for a double lung transplant

Wish Upon A Hero member Samantha84 is a 26 year old mom of two from Tulsa Oklahoma. She has Cystic Fibrosis and only can use 19% of her lungs. Samantha has moved up the donor list and is required to be close to the hospital in St. Louis, MO as she awaits her transplant. She need help relocating her family to be with her and stabilizing her financial situation.

We realize we can't solve all of her financial needs but would like to raise $2000 for her. This will cover transportation of her family, 2 months rent and food for her family.

TeamWish has generously offered to match up to $500 to help out Samantha. Please donate and make this wish come true.

Use the Foundation's Paypal & Credit Card Processing to make a donation.

    Hi Samantha, I am not able to donate much, but I did donate $10 towards helping you achieve your goal. God Bless you and I hope that you get your transplant and all goes well. I have a 3 year old that has chronic lung disease along with other issues and I know how difficult it for me as a mother to see my child struggling to breathe daily. Take care of yourself sweetie.
    May God be with you!!!
